finding business partners

[qosimo]

Where is a good place to find business partners?
Im looking for someone with a sales / marketing background but instead of hiring someone id rather a business partner. What networks have other people used?

An ad in the back of The Sunday Business Post?

Linkedin is a business focussed networking site. Could be very helpful to set yourself up on that and go from there.

Or you could try one of the following sites that you may find potential investors/buyers:
Simple.ie

businessesforsale.ie
[broken link removed]
businessvision.ie
thebusinessshop.ie
buyandsell.ie

Hope they help.

Thanks.

There are all sorts of mutton-heads out there who think they should be everybody’s business partner. Just because someone used to be a financial controller in a large company (or whatever) it doesn't mean that they know Jack about your line of business. Whomever you find you will have to trust your instincts, stay cynical and don't accept anything they say as gospel.
